      BACKGROUND
      
      If you decide to remove Stacker from your system, use the UNCOMP
      command to uncompress your drive. This will uncompress your hard
      disk, and will remove Stacker's compression functionality.
      However, some vestiges of Stacker will remain on your disk,
      particularly in Windows. This document tells you how to remove
      all these references to Stacker.
      
      SOLUTION
      
         - Uncompress the disk
         - Remove references to Stacker in the Boot Files
         - Remove the Stacker directory and its contents, and Stacker
           hidden files
         - Remove all references to Stacker in Windows
           
      Uncompress the disk
      
      Type UNCOMP drive: <enter> at the DOS prompt then follow the
      instructions on the screen. Do this for each Stacker drive. When
      the last drive is uncompressed you will be asked if you wish to
      remove Stacker. Answer yes. Note that if you compressed any
      removable disks, you will not be asked if you wish to remove
      Stacker. If so, you must manually remove Stacker references. See
      the procedures below.
      
      Remove references to Stacker in the Boot Files
      
      After you uncompress the last hard drive, references to Stacker
      may be removed from the Boot Files (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT).
      Examine these files to ensure all references to Stacker are gone
      or REMarked out. If not, you may remove them manually. From the
      Stacker directory, you may type ED /C <enter> to edit the
      CONFIG.SYS file, and ED /A <enter> to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
      
      In the CONFIG.SYS, the Stacker lines will depend on the version
      of DOS you are using. For Preloading DOS versions (such as MS-DOS
      6.0) they will be:
           DEVICE=C:\STACKER\DPMS.EXE
           DEVICEHIGH=C:\STACKER\STACHIGH.SYS
      For other DOS versions the lines will be:
           DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM
           DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM
      The Stacker lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file are:
           REM The Check Line Below Provides Additional Safety For
              Stacker Drives
           REM Please Do Not Remove It
           C:\STACKER\CHECK /WP
      Also, examine the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and
      remove the reference to the Stacker Directory.
      
      Remove the Stacker directory and its contents, and Stacker hidden
      files
      
       1.  Go to the Stacker directory and delete all the files in it,
           then change to its parent directory and remove the Stacker
           directory.
       2.  Go to the root directory of the boot drive. Use the command
           DIR /AH or a third party utility to see if the Stacker
           hidden files are gone. They are STACKER.INI, STACKER2.BIN
           and DBLSPACE.BIN. If they are still there, use the ATTRIB
           command to remove the System, Hidden, and Read-only
           attributes from the files and then delete them.
       3.  Look for the file STACKER.LOG in the root directory of each
           drive that was previously compressed. Remove the Read-only
           attribute from the file with the DOS ATTRIB command or a
           third party utility and then delete it.
       Note that all of these tasks can be performed in Windows File
           Manager.
           
      Remove all references to Stacker in Windows
      
      When you start Windows you will probably get some error messages
      because some of the files being called have been deleted.
      
       1.  Go to Program Manager and remove the Stacker Group. First,
           delete all the icons within the Group, then the Group
           itself.
       2.  Open the Startup Group. If you have an icon there for
           Stacker Autosave, delete it.
       3.  Go to File Manager and delete the file STACTRN.SCR.
       4.  Open the file PROGMAN.INI in an editor such as Notepad.
           Examine the contents for any references to a Stacker Group.
           All references may have been removed when you deleted the
           Stacker Group. But if you had previous Stacker Groups, they
           may still be listed. You may delete these references.
       5.  Open the file WINFILE.INI in an editor such as Notepad.
           Remove the line "Stacker Extensions=...". If you see a
           reference to Stacker on the "dir1=..." line, do not remove
           it. This line is dynamic, and will change as you select new
           drives and directories.
       6.  Open the file CONTROL.INI in an editor such as Notepad.
           Locate the section [MMCPL]. Remove the line
           "Stacapplets=...".
